Derby County will be back in the Championship after two seasons in League One.
This means that new and old rivalries will come back to life as the Rams aim to solidify their place back in the second tier.
Whether it is historic rivalries or former players, managers and feuds there will be plenty for Derby fans to chant about when these five teams visit Pride Park next season.
Here are the five biggest rivals to Derby County in the Championship this upcoming season...
1. Leeds United
Derby's rivalry with Leeds goes back to Brian Clough (Derby) and Don Revie (Leeds) who famously hated eachother. In recent years, the Rams beat Leeds to make the playoff final in 2019 after their Yorkshire rivals reportedly 'spied' on Derby's training session. A longstanding and bitter rivalry. | Getty Images
2. Plymouth Argyle
The rivalry with Plymouth stems simply from the fact that former Derby boss Wayne Rooney is now manager. He will make his first return to Pride Park as an opposition manager. Photo: Ryan Hiscott
3. Bristol City
Much like Plymouth, this one is down to old faces. Both Jason Knight and Max Bird (two Derby academy graduates) now play for the Robins and will return to face their former side for the first time in their careers. | Getty Images
4. Middlesbrough
